I asked for help, not judgment of my genealogy research, yes, I have numerous
christening records, but prefer to use it as an Event, not on the screen.
Excuse me for being "different". Personally I was not even going to use the
Cause of Death for that, I wanted a quick reference for DNA matches on the
Family Screen, so I was just going to use that because I'm not impressed with
Legacy's DNA record, I keep all the DNA correspondence/information, in One
Note, but it would be nice to have it oh the Family Screen of each particular
person, obviously it's my database.
I've been using Legacy since version 5 and have upgraded each upgrade, so I do
have a little knowledge about Legacy, and many of us choose to use in a way
that is best for our needs and have no intention of writing a book. I well
know that you don't input into the "Family View, but into the "Individual
View", but they are SUPPOSE to line up with each other and mine
don't!!!!!!!!Syble

Syble,
Sorry, as I said, you cannot change the input fields on the Individual Screen.
If you don't want Christening, I gather you are not very far back in your
research or are in the lucky position that there is actual birth information
available very early in your areas of research. In my research from early
nineteenth century back I only have christening and burial information.
To repeat. The fields on the individual input screen are fixed.

Yes, I know that you rt click and the Customize Family View
Information pops up and I know how to change, my Field Names are:
Birth Date/Place
Age at Death
Death Date/Place
Burial Date/Place
Cause of Death - [Name to Display = DthCau] , Then I close that pop-up
window and the Individual's page that I'd been looking at in Family
View, I open his individual page and now my options to fill in are:
Born....
Chr...I don't want this , I want Cause of Death or Display name= DthCau
Died...
Buried....
I have the age of death on the Individual screen to the right, which
is where it's been since version 5 if I remember correctly. I have
been able in the past to have the DthCau (Cause of death), so my
question is still what happen to it and how to get it back, obviously
you can't type in from the Family View, so I need that area to be able
to type in on the Individual's page.
Thanks,
Syble

Hi Syble,
You have the choice of what to show on the Family View.
Right click on one of the labels and then customise.
The default is Birth, Chr, Death, Bur and DthCau so if you have
Age, you have modified it at some point.
I usually change the DthCau to one of the Events as I have few
Causes of Death in my database. To change to an Event is a two
step process - first when customising the labels choose Event and
then the specific Event you want to show.
You can choose to save sets of labels so it's easy to change from
one set to another when working on different areas of your database.
If you are wondering where to input the Cause of Death, that's on
the Medical Notes - one of the tabs when you click the Notes icon.
The input options on the Individual screen are fixed. Most other
items are added through the Events/Facts section.
Hope that helps,
Cathy

The Family View page is showing the 5 information options as: Born,
Age, Died, Bur, DthCau
then when I go to the same person's Individual Information page the
options to fill in are: Born, Chr, Died, Buried, why and how to
do fix it.
Thanks,
Syble
